Here’s Angela, Chair of #WASPI and Janet, one of @andyburnham’s constituents meeting him when he started his campaign in Makerfield. He told them WASPI women deserved recompense and promised to meet us. 16 weeks later and we’re still waiting. Keep your word, Andy.

One promise. One meeting. Millions of #WASPI women still waiting, @andyburnham.

In June, @andyburnham said #WASPI women deserved recompense. He was right. He also promised to meet us. 16 weeks into his premiership, that meeting hasn’t happened. We’re asking him to keep his word.

The Government may think the #WASPI issue is done and dusted, but that’s far from the case, with many voters saying a refusal to compensate would sway how they vote. It’s time to do the right thing, @andyburnham. @UKLabour

Does @DWPgovuk know that using vague, ambiguous advertising just repeats past mistakes? #WASPI

Angela Madden, chair of #WASPI said: "This budget has shown yet again that when the government feels it needs to, it can act, but when it comes to WASPI women, we are told the cupboard is bare. "WASPI women are still waiting for the justice the Parliamentary Ombudsman, hundreds of MPs and the public say is due. “@andyburnham promised to meet with campaigners to discuss redress, and we expect that commitment to be honoured. WASPI stands ready to find a solution that is fair to both affected women and the taxpayer."

Will the Budget provide a glimmer of hope for those 3.5 million women given inadequate notice of increases to their state pension age? Probably not given the parlous state of the Government's finances

The Parliamentary Ombudsman found that failures to properly inform 1950s-born women about changes to the State Pension age caused injustice. I welcome the Prime Minister’s renewed commitment to explore routes to fair redress. 1/2

#WASPI is always hopeful that justice will prevail where an injustice has been caused by Government. We’re working hard at #Lab26 to get the message across. We need to talk!
